You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Amych, you are eminently more qualified to answer than I am, in that case -- I'm remembering university French from 1986.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The Académie française met and threw it out.
More seriously -- that's the plural/formal imperative.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
If the gun's actually put away, I feel safer than if it's where I can see it. Hell, just the idea that only the people who know it's there can use it is a comfort.
Point. But I'd still prefer that fewer people walking around had them at all.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Hivemind help!
I'm drawing a mental block. What is the antonym for namesake?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Namesake has an antonym? I'm stumped.

Everytime that's come up in RL it's ended with "and then my, what's the word, not namesake. Whatever the opposite of that is..."
Having an actual word would be nice, if anyone knows it.

Antonym meaning the relationship the other way? As in, if I had a nephew named Karl, who was named for me, then he is my ____?
I'm not sure English has one. But I'll bet the aggregate Buffista wisdom will prove me wrong.
